Wanna see viral social media in action? GRA client The Butter End Cakery has had quite the week. It started with creating a cake that I truly feel deserves a culinary award. Suspended from a chandelier, hanging upside down… see for yourself. Beautiful.

Kaley Cuoco (actress from The Big Bang Theory) graciously posted one pic on Instagram…. Here follows the story from Kimberly Bailey, owner and creative genius… copied from her own blog post.

What would make me cancel my vacation to Australia over the holidays, when we shut down the shop?

Well, a call from Kaley Cuoco‘s assistant, Danielle, requesting that I make her cake for her New Year’s Eve surprise wedding to Ryan Sweeting.

While I was soooo looking forward to my once a year mini break from the long hours of the shop, I was school-girl excited when I heard the three magic words from Danielle: She wants it to be “Over the top”. So I said yes. Of course I said yes!

I bagged my vacation.

The only thing that Kaley knew was she wanted it to be spectacular and memorable.

The theme was ‘fire and ice’. Meg Hall was catering, and Rrivre Davies of RrivreWorks was doing the event design and production. It was getting even better. Kaley wanted her three rescue Pit Bulls to be sculpted into her wedding cake. Cutting the heads and paws off of realistic dog cakes kind of creeps me out, so I wanted to offer up some alternatives. She and Ryan were totally up for creating the dogs as part of their Dogs and Balls Grooms Cake, which turned out to be really fun. I especially liked the “Bitches Love Me” bandana on Norman, who sat atop the giant tennis ball cake.

Thankfully, it did work, and looked pretty baddass, if I do say so myself!

Did I miss out on vacation? Yep. Do I regret it? Not for a second!

Kaley was so gracious that the day after her wedding she posted the cake on Twitter and Instragram, thanking us and tagging @thebutterend. The firestorm of inquiries and media attention that followed was nutty-pants! We’ve had requests to fly to Mexico and Michigan to make this cake.

I don’t know if we’ll ever do another one, but this is one that I’ll never forget.
